hey all!
I am in San Francisco. There must be more of us out here?! I go to **** for my gyno/uro..but am really frustrated with lack of concern from my drs in helping me track my progress/pain better.
Dr, Payne is in Stanford. I wonder if he is taking new patients?

Julip, I am also in San Francisco. There are many docs out there I have a list but not at my fingertips. After diagnosis, I am being cared for by my primary MD who is wonderful. Please let me know what has happened to you at ****.

If you go to the Browse Our Site pull-down menu at the top of this page and click on "IC Physicians" you will find a list of physicians who have been recommended by other IC patients.
Please remember to not include the physician or practice name if you post anything negative.
Thanks.

Hello! I'm in Alameda
My urologist's office in East Bay (Concord/Walnut Creek/Antioch/San Ramon) tells me they have other IC patients. Wonder how many in the Bay Area????? Wouldn't that be interesting to find out?

I'm back in the East Bay after a 15 months in the UK. I would be interested in a support grp for when I'm in better shape. My IC is not under control right now, I don't have a car and I'm bed-bound a lot of the time. AND a spt. grp. sounds like a great idea. Even time on the phone.
